Thursday. 30th October [1890]. Up at 7. Wrote, read & practised guitar before breakfast. Painted all the morning with Nela—Mama sat with us– She was very low. I tried to persuade her to be happier. Miss St Clair called directly after lunch & also Mr & Mrs Browning with their friends Mr & Mrs Douglas Murray. It was past 3 when they left so we had not long to be out.
